'PILKS reflect well in Russia' and the latest float glass plant at Ramenskoye on the outskirts of Moscow (Star, February 3)... it will have a capacity of 240,000 tons which won't be produced here and will be produced cheaper than here.

And as you say in your article it will help Pilkington's growth strategy in this market. With people like this I've no doubt that the plans for houses on City Road have been drawn up for outline Planning Permission.

And to our MP Dave Watts talking about gambling in Great Yarmouth, you don't know what you are talking about.

I have spent a long time in Norfolk and have a son who's lived in Great Yarmouth for a number of years. So I don't know where you get your facts from? The police boat brings in the odd body. I don't for one minute think they hang cards round their neck saying 'the Casino did it'. But I know it is the coldest place in Britain to be alone
